Abstract
A method of converting a reactant gas mixture of CO.sub.2, O.sub.2 and CH.sub.4 comprises contacting the reactant gas at 750-850.degree. C. with a solid catalyst, which is a d-block transition metal or oxide such as a group VIII metal on a metal oxide support such as alumina, and which selectively converts the reactant gas into a product gas mixture comprising H.sub.2 and CO.
